quick cmd prompt question

[keegan]

Ok, this is bugging me. Say i have this dir:

test
folder1
hello
goodbye
folder2
hello
goodbye

Those are all folders. Now, say i want to delete all folders called 'hello'. How would i do this? I tried piping a dir command into the del command: dir /A: D /s hello | del but that didnt work. any one got a tip? *.* cin >> knowledge;

try piping it to a rmdir command. I have not tried it myself. :-)

i don't think you can do that in ms-dos.

This will work. for /R %i in (hello) DO rd %i If you are new to DOS, believe it or not, it is a DOS command.:)

I thought /R was an NT CMD.EXE thing... Steve S
